My pleasure, Jennifer. As a native Minnesotan living in Californistan for over 20 years, I, too, miss the colder climate .. sometimes ;-) Happy Holidays.

I love the tree at Rockefeller. I avoid the day they light it cause you can't walk or drive but the days after are wonderful.

Great post. The telecast of the lighting last night was really good. (So the RCA building is now the GE. Wonder if the Rainbow Room was renamed.)

If you go there, Fox News Channel is right around the corner. I've got a good picture of me around here somewhere, from our late summer / early fall NY visit, with a big news ticker (from the side of the building) above my head that's reading something like "U.S. bombs Iraq." ;-)

I work one block away, you should see it right now in the midst of this BEAUTIFUL snowstorm.

It's official.....I'm in the Christmas spirit.

I've seen that tree before it was executed. It was exeduted for the crimes of pollen dumping and deadly unlicensed smog-forming photochemical emissions. About time we make a public example of the fruit of such crimes.

We were up in NYC last December and took a bunch of pictures at Fox News. Linda Vester waved to us, it made our day! :)
